Chapter 2: Today is in a particularly good mood

After lunch, Cheng Shuang said to the two sisters-in-law: "I haven't been shopping for a long time, today is a holiday, we usually get together, let's go shopping together in the afternoon, right?"

Wei Min first agreed: "Shuangshuang's suggestion is very good, I agree." Sister-in-law, let's go shopping together, shall we?"

Cheng Shuang saw that his sister-in-law Lin Yueqin was very hesitant, so he opened his arms, hugged Lin Yueqin tightly, and kissed her on the face mischievously: "Good sister-in-law, you just agree to come down!"

"Okay, okay, no problem, I'll go with you. Where are you going to go?" Lin Yueqin felt that her enthusiasm was overwhelming, so she readily agreed.

Cheng Shuang said: "Shall we go to Wuguang, or go to Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street?"

Wei Min felt that it was inappropriate: "These two places usually go a lot, and we are all here in Wuchang today, or let's go to Chuhe Han Street, it's been a long time."

Jiajia agreed in her heart, pulled Cheng Shuang and said, "Auntie, there are the most fashionable new shops on Chuhe Han Street, and there are several shopping plazas, let's go to Chuhe Han Street, right?"

Lin Yueqin smiled and patted the board: "Shuangshuang, the minority obeys the majority, let's go to Chuhe Han Street! Please drive a car with Jiajia. How?"

Cheng Shuang and Jiajia clapped their hands in unison: "Yes!"

Yueqin turned to Cheng Fenglei and said, "Fenglei, you and Guangming, Xiang Qian, Fenghua, you big men are at home to accompany the two old people, play poker or mahjong."

Cheng Fenglei responded: "Okay, you don't care about our affairs, you just go shopping, and we can learn poker skills together."

Before going out, the old mother Du Yuejuan advised: "You should pay attention to safety along the way!"

Lin Yueqin suddenly remembered: "Yes, we got the pharmacy at the entrance of the community to buy some masks, and everyone wore masks to go shopping."

Wei Min joked: "Sister-in-law, you have an occupational disease, is it so terrifying?"

Cheng Shuang replied with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, sister-in-law, this is not an occupational disease, it is a common feature of our medical workers: high consciousness!"

Lin Yueqin stroked Cheng Shuang's back with her hand, and smiled heartily: "Or we Shuang Shuang can talk!"

Wei Min squeezed his eyebrows at Cheng Shuang: "Look at your sycophant, you are in the arms of your sister-in-law!"

Chuhe Han Street is located between East Lake and Shahu Lake in Wuchang District, and is a cultural and commercial area built by a well-known domestic enterprise with an investment of more than 50 billion yuan. A new artificial river was opened up to connect the East Lake and the Sand Lake, and the river was named "Chu River"; along the south bank of the river, a 1.5-kilometer-long commercial pedestrian street was built in the architectural style of the Republic of China, called "Han Street", which is said to be the longest urban commercial pedestrian street in China. Since its opening on September 30, 2011, Chuhe Han Street has seen a large number of people shopping every day, and it has become a good place for Wuhan citizens and visitors to go shopping.

Lin Yueqin and her group of 6 people wore masks and merged into the bustling flow of people on Han Street. On New Year's Day, Han Street is very lively, and the narrow pedestrian street is crowded with people everywhere. As usual, no one was wearing a mask on the street. Therefore, Lin Yueqin and them are particularly conspicuous when they walk on the street, attracting people's surprised and strange eyes from time to time.

A middle-aged woman next to her glanced at them and said to her companion in private: "Are these people wearing masks all big stars? Those celebrities always like to cover them with masks when they go out, for fear that others will recognize them." ”

The companion looked at it carefully and whispered, "It doesn't seem to be quite like it, it feels like a few ordinary people." ”

Jiajia was stimulated when she heard this, and complained to Lin Yueqin: "Mom, you see how outstanding we are walking on this Han Street wearing masks, we are about to become animals in the circus for people to watch."

Lin Yueqin patted Jiajia, covered her mouth and smiled: "Then you are also the most beautiful monkey."

Cheng Shuang laughed: "Jiajia, how good, your mother has been promoted again today, and she is the head of our circus." He turned sideways and said to Wei Min: "Then you can be a deputy head of the regiment, haha."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed happily.

The group leisurely strolled the street, or tried on clothes, or ate some snacks, or bought some clothing and accessories, or looked at the realistic wax figures of celebrities in the wax museum, stopping and stopping, and before you knew it, two or three hours passed.

By the time they brought their bags into the door of the two old men's homes, it was already evening. After a lively dinner, the whole family said goodbye to the two elders and drove home separately.

Jiajia drove on the second bridge of the Yangtze River, at this time it was already the beginning of the lights, the high-rise buildings on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, everywhere neon flashing, brilliant lights, a colorful light show, is being staged on the surrounding high-rise exterior wall. Jiajia turned back to her parents in the back seat and said, "Look at it, how dreamy and charming the night scene on both sides of the Yangtze River is!"

Cheng Fenglei took a closer look: "Yes, Wuhan is becoming more and more beautiful now! In the past, a leader once joked: 'Wuhan is the largest county in the country.'" Now if he comes to Wuhan again, look at this night scene, look at this light show, he will definitely be different from the past, and he will be full of emotion!"

Lin Yueqin said: "In the past, Wuhan was really bad, it was dirty and messy everywhere, and in the past ten years, it has really changed dramatically. In particular, the 2019 World Military Games was held in Wuhan, and the cityscape was completely renewed. Look at this night scene, what's the difference between it and Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour? I think it's even more beautiful!"

Cheng Fenglei said with emotion: "With the rapid development of high-speed rail, now we can take the high-speed rail from Wuhan to Shanghai in the east, Chengdu in the west, Guangzhou in the south, and Beijing in the north in less than five hours." Wuhan has now become the largest water, land and air transportation hub in Chinese mainland and the shipping center of the middle Yangtze River, the high-speed rail network radiates most of China, and it is also the only city in central China that can fly directly to the world's five continents. Wuhan should speed up its development, otherwise we will be sorry for the title of "thoroughfare of nine provinces". ”

Lin Yueqin: "Professor Yi Zhongtian, who once taught at Wuhan University, had this evaluation of Wuhan in the past: one line is connected, two rivers meet, three towns are majestic, the four seas echo, five miscellaneous places, six roads are viewed, seven stars shine high, eight sides are exquisite, nine provinces are thoroughfares, and ten fingers are connected to the heart. What a brilliant overview!".

Jiajia interjected: "The natural conditions of our 'Greater Wuhan' are indeed very superior, in recent years, the transportation has developed rapidly, there are currently ten Yangtze River bridges, four Yangtze River tunnels have been completed and opened to traffic, thirteen subways are intertwined into a network in the city, and the traffic is becoming more and more convenient." Our 'Great Wuhan' is crisscrossed by rivers and lakes, intertwined with lakes and ports, known as the 'City of Hundred Lakes', and East Lake is also the largest urban lake in Asia, which is said to be six times the size of West Lake. ”

Cheng Fenglei continued: "Wuhan is also the city with the largest number of college students in Asia, with 89 colleges and universities, second only to Beijing's 91, with more than 1.3 million college students. There are also 95 scientific research institutes, which are the huge potential for Wuhan's development!

Without reform and opening up and without tremendous economic development, how could there have been such great changes. That's why Comrade Xiaoping said it well: development is the last word!"

Jiajia proposed: "When we have time, our family will go to the Hankou River Beach at night to watch the night view and enjoy this colorful light show!"

Lin Yueqin's mouth shook Cheng Fenglei: "I'm fine, the key depends on your father's time, this district elder is very busy every day!"

Cheng Fenglei laughed: "As long as you really have this idea, I have to find time to accompany me no matter how busy I am!"

The family was in the car while enjoying the light show along the way, laughing and teasing, very comfortable and relaxed.
